So I haven’t read the full article, or may not remember it entirely, but he mentioned that Japanese anime shouldn’t be catering towards western audiences, and that Japanese anime must stay Japanese. I mean, that’s what made anime unique in the first place compared to other animation. If it’s made in...

Happy late birthday, jcmoorehead!

I had thought that Anno might be Japan’s equivalent to Alan Moore. •Both of their work is considered a deconstruction to their perspective genre. •Both are timeless masterpieces to their fans. •Both are influential to other media that came after them. •Both are seemingly cynical and misanthropic tow...

I think of it as an reincarnation(though anno messed up her past,like what was going in his head)(loop theory and I think since it is indeed added we can't really deny it storywise,and it really has to do something with reincarnation or it will not make sense,ahem if I read things which were not ad...

I just got back from watching Star Wars episode III in theaters as part of it 20th anniversary. Sure reminds me of the first time I saw it.

I've been trying to look for the Funimation dub of the series, but everywhere I look it's the Ocean dub. Is there a place to find it? Is the Apple TV release with the Funimation dub? I didn’t know there was another dub for it, least of all the Funimation one. I thought there was only one dub, until...

Halo TV Halsey is giving me serious Naoko Akagi vibes, minus a Gendo, with a God complex turned to 11. Was she always the mother of Miranda? I’ve only seen the first few episodes, then I quit after that. I ain’t touching that shit again. As a hardcore Halo fan during my 20+ years, I can honestly sa...

Mr. Tines#944504 wrote:Simple answer - "Shikinami" ≠ "my Asuka" - indeed a major reason why I checked out of the rebuilds after 1.01 was exactly that.

To be honest, I don’t really consider Shikinami to be Asuka, since she’s not the original one. Soryu is only genuine article there would ever be.

Director Kazuya Tsurumaki has said that recently Director Anno has been liberated from Eva and is in full otaku mode, just like he was with Top and Nadia, and is really into it #ジークアクス #GQuuuuuuX That kind of confirms my suspicion that Anno didn't actually want to work on Shin and was tired of EVA....

Anyway, I think all the characters are worse in the manga (especially the pilots). However, I do like some of the additions Sadamoto made. I think volumes 4 and 6 are very good in the manga. In fact, I think the EVA 03 incident is better in this version of the story than in the anime and movies. Ho...

^So I take that these two complement each other, with both of them being similar in almost every way.

Although I tend to sympathize with Shinji more than I do with Asuka, which might have been the show’s intention. I wonder how different things would be for me if it was the other way around.

I’m taking about of course the people in the fandom who holds a great dislike towards Asuka Langley Soryu, and some people outside of it. Usually, these people would just refer to her as an annoying little bitch with a cargo full of issues with little to no redeeming qualities. Yes, I myself have be...

dzzthink#944422 wrote:The character of a shy introvert seems more suited for a male character though, especially since Anno was speaking from his own personal history, so for realism it makes more sense that Shinji was a boy.

Anno was a shy one, eh? So I take he’s more like Shinji in some aspects of his personality.

2. I know he is not a fan of American culture, but he has also been critical of the Japanese government of that time as well (see The Wind Rises). So, what does he not like about the American culture? 3. I'm afraid I don't have a good answer about that one. I would have to assume he was complaining...

1) Just what is his problem with anime in general? 2) Is it true that he hates Americans for what happened during WWII, and other people living in the west? 3) Why is it that he thinks that every anime fans are the scum of the earth, including people who likes his works? 4) Why do people practically...

Anno did made the series as a deconstruction to the mecha genre and anime as a whole, so his goals was to bring down the whole industry. Yet, his work influenced some others, wasn’t sure that was his true intentions or not. But EVA ended with the world coming to an end. And the whole world of Evange...

Overall, I believe Asuka had the potential to have a bigger role in the series as she was written in a way that made it more entertaining. When considering the core aspects of battling angels for the sake of humanity or love triangles, she perhaps has a more superior construct to Shinji. Regarding ...

I’ve done quite a few fan arts during the past five years and submitted them to my Deviantart page: https://www.deviantart.com/ctaylor90/gallery Some of which were requests, although I’ve been wanting to work more on my own stuff. Lately, I think my art may have been coming off as cringe to people o...

Happy birthday, Kendrix and JimmyWolk!

Happy belated birthday, Joseki!
